During 1967 our biggest news was acceptance and dedication of the F.W. Flake Memorial Record Collection, donated by friends of the late Bill Flake and his family. F of L sponsored in March, a retirement luncheon for Librarian Carlotta Hoye; in April, a book talk by Miss Harriet Covey of the Los Angeles County Library and the annual children's art and writing contest in the Hermosa schools; and in December, a Christmas party. Our main money maker as usual was the spring Libations for the Library. 1968 will mark the SIXTH annual!
The California Collection is now expanded to nearly 80 volumes... all made possible through YOUR donations of books and/or dollars in memberships. Five volumes (the first installment) of the Gazin Collection are now on the shelves. The second annual Gazin gift ($50) was presented at the December 19 meeting.

Hearty thanks to board members who gave generously of their thought and time...
